Tanzanian Agricultural Land Lease – Commercial Farming Opportunity

Requirement

A 5,000-hectare agricultural land parcel in Tanzania's Southern Agricultural Growth Corridor is available for long-term lease. The opportunity suits commercial farming operations, agribusiness investors, or agricultural development projects. Total investment including lease and development is estimated at $3.2 million. The land is located in Iringa Region with favorable agro-climatic conditions for maize, soybean, sunflower, and horticultural crops. Existing infrastructure includes access roads, water sources from the Ruaha River catchment, and proximity to the SAGCOT irrigation scheme. Soil surveys confirm high agricultural potential. We seek commercial farmers, agribusiness companies, and agricultural investors. The lease is offered through Tanzania Investment Centre with investor protections including dispute resolution mechanisms. Terms include 33-year initial lease with 33-year renewal option and negotiable annual rental. Lease terms range $15-25/hectare annually depending on development commitments. Estimated development costs of $400-600/hectare for land clearing, irrigation infrastructure, and initial cultivation. Outgrower scheme opportunities with surrounding smallholders provide additional scaling options. Tanzania actively promotes agricultural investment with investment incentives including import duty exemptions on agricultural machinery, VAT exemptions on agricultural inputs, and profit repatriation guarantees. SAGCOT initiative provides coordination and support services for corridor investors.
